Origin Lust Sword System
145 The Temple Deacon
"[Welcome to the Third Trial Floor, Temple Worshiper Rita!]
"[NOTE: This Floor can only be accessed by one Temple Worshiper participant at a time and is unassessable until the first participant is undergoing the trial!]
"[Third Origin Lust Sword Temple Floor Trial for Origin Lust Sword Temple Deacon will now begin!]
"[To become an Origin Lust Sword Temple Deacon, it is essential to walk the path of Origin Lust Sword carved by the Origin Lust Sword Dimension Ruler and then fully able to sermon the grander of Lust Sword to the world and deepened the believer's faith. It is also a Temple Deacon's duty to show the Atheists the path of Lust Sword and turn them into believers of the Lust Sword.]
"[The Third Trial is the trial of the Worshiper's unsurmountable faith in the Lust Sword Path!]
"[Trial Description: Learn the First Strike of Origin Lust Sword Hymn of Awakening and perform it to the highest proficiency as much as you can during the time limit, and you will be judged once the time limit is over through your final proficiency rate!]
"[Time Limit: 12 Hours]"
Rita was surprised when as she had never expected this sort of trial.
The next moment, a long, half-purple, and half-crimson sword with a black hilt appeared in front of her, and it was extremely sharp and cold.
But it wasn't the end; the next moment, the streaming water of the two rivers suddenly churned as it started to rise from both sides and start to take a humanoid shape.
Rita's eyes flashed with surprise when she saw both of those humanoid water puppets exactly look like Cyrus as they were holding Lust Sword in their hands.
The next moment, one of the Cyrus made with water moved his sword toward the sky in a straight line. The next moment, he slashed it down.
A strange melody note suddenly drifted in the wind as if someone just played a musical instrument.
However, Rita was shocked when the other Cyrus was blown apart just as the sound appeared. She then finally remembered Cyrus performing this exact move, but this water puppet performed it even more gracefully than Cyrus.
But it wasn't the end. Those two water puppets suddenly turned into water globs and then suddenly shot toward Rita, catching her completely off guard.
Panicked, she tried to use her Qi to defend herself, but to her horror, her Qi was completely gone, so she could only turn to the sword in front of her.
But just as she touched the black hilt, those two water globs hit her, and she thought she would be sent flying.
However, not only did it not hurt or send her flying with that impact, but she suddenly had a strange illusion as if the one who performed the hymn was not the puppet but herself. Then she had another illusion in which the receiver of that hymn was also her.
All those feelings when the water puppet performed the hymn were completely engraved into her very being, and when she snapped out of that strange state, she wasn't wet at all.
Her eyes shimmered in understanding, 'So, that's how I can perform that sword strike? How magical!'
On the other hand, Cyrus was baffled when he read the third trial requirement.

'I didn't think anyone else other than myself could learn the Origin Lust Sword Hymns.' Cyrus thought as he was under the impression those hymns could only be performed through the nebulas Qi.
However, when he thought about how he was able to perform them even before he has awakened the Sword Nebula Energy, then he no longer thought that way. But he knew the SNE had some sort of terrifying effect on the hymns that a normal Qi won't have.
But when he saw those water puppets impersonating him as one of them performed the first strike, his eyes widened as he stood straight over his throne, utterly shocked. To make someone like him giving this sort of expression was a huge deal.
"Oh, that image of yours performed the first strike at 100% proficiency!" Eve exclaimed at this moment as she was watching all this with relish.
"So, the fabled 100% proficiency really exists, and I saw it with my own eyes!" Cyrus's eyes shone like the sun as he never expected he would see something like this while being a mortal.
Although Rita was ignorant about what she just saw, but Cyrus wasn't, and his heart raced just imagining that scene of himself performing that first strike at 100% proficiency.
If he really achieved such a level of proficiency, he'll be a nightmare for his enemies.
Then Cyrus also saw how Rita got splashed by those two globs and then seemed to fall into a dazed state and remained like that for ten minutes.
He frowned as he said to the system, "Can you play that strike again?"
"[The Hymn of Awakening's first strike will only be performed one time during each trial and then imprint on the trail taker's mind. If they manage to pass this trial, they can keep the memories, but if they fail, those memories will be stripped away from them until they take the trial again. Only a Temple Deacon can start learning the Lust Sword Path.]"
Cyrus frowned even more, "One per person? And just say the Temple Deacon will start learning the path of Lust Sword, which means they will inherit the reaming hymns as well?"
"[Naturally. It is the true inheritance of the Origin Lust Sword Temple and a symbol of your dimension. However, the User needed to learn those hymns first before they could appear in the trials. If you have no knowledge of those hymns and some mastery over them, they will not appear in the future trials.]"
Cyrus thought this made sense, and then he asked another important question, "So not all the trial will be about just learning my secret moves, huh?"
"[No and don't worry, those hymns can't hurt the Origin Lust Sword Master!]"
Cyrus no longer asked any questions as the last line was quite reassuring and focused on the sword strike he saw in his mind and tried to play it again and again.
"Eve, let's go training. I might be able to achieve over 91% proficiency with that sword strike as well, now that I've seen it at 100%. This is a great opportunity for me to learn as well. Or if those girls started to perform the hymns better than me, I won't have any face to call myself their man." Cyrus gravely said as he was interested in watching Rita practicing his first strike again and again.
The Origin Lust Sword Temple was again giving him free benefits so he won't miss it.
"Hmph, you just want to pose." Eve snorted in disdain, but she didn't reject him either. It has been quite a while since she has had a chance to order Cyrus around and play his teacher so she won't miss this opportunity.
Cyrus merely chuckled and vanished from the throne room, while his initial plan was to visit Carla after Rita was done with her trial. But it could wait until he was done with his own training.
While training under Eve's strict instruction, 12 hours were hardly noticeable, but even after 12 hours, Cyrus was stuck at advanced proficiency. No matter what he tried, nothing seemed to work, and increasing that 1% has become torture.
At this moment, he heard a notification.
